Keely unhappy with Roddy “mess”

Personally I don't see it as question of ethics. It's just life.

Guerzy, 3 weeks before an important presentation for your current, crappy employers who you are with as an agency temp (week to week basis, no contract), an albeit struggling blue chip company offers you a permenant job. What do you do? I'd take the new job myself, no qualms.

This is football not some blue chip company and in football loyalty is one of the one of the most important traits of the game. In the workplace factories and shops etc loyalty is not a key factor and that is the outstanding difference between the two codes.

To players and managers, or the vast majority of them, it is just a job. Players and managers go where the money is/ the conditions best suit them. Loyalty isn't a key factor for them, only for the fans.

About a year ago I spoke to an Irish tv pundit who has since criticised Roddy recently on air. We spoke about loyalty in football. His asked me to spell loyalty, which I did but he corrected me with the answer M-O-N-E-Y. Basically there is no loyalty in football.

I read Roddy's column in the Star on Sunday. He made the point that if he stayed with Home Farm having been offered a job by Shams then it would be unethical. He would have been tempted to pick bad teams and not prepare the players properly. Only the likes of Roddy would think of something like this. Anyone else would have liked to prove the doubters wrong and save Home Farm from relegation. If that was not mathematically possible then no problem, but before important games that could save them from relegation? It stinks.

And no one here has yet pointed to the ethics of the SRFC board. Approaching the manager of the team that could send you down is downright low. Roddy and SRFC are welcome to each other.

Ronan Seery is an idiot and should have had Roddy on a contract.

The whole thing is a mess and reflects badly on the league.
